To the Editor:

On behalf of Newtown Youth and Family Services, I would like to thank each and every person who attended NYFS’ 37th Annual Holiday Festival. We are honored to be part of such a supportive community that backs our mission of helping children and families achieve their highest potential. This support means the world to us and even more to those who need our help.

We would like to thank the many volunteers and local businesses who helped this huge undertaking come to life. A big thank you to Newtown Savings Bank — our Premier Sponsor, M&T Bank, Eversource, New Insights Boutique, all of our Holiday Helpers, Festival Friends, Location Sponsors, and Activity Sponsors.

Also, many thanks to the local community members and businesses who donated their time or products to the Festival of Trees, Silent Auction, and Concession Stand. We are truly grateful for all of your help making this fundraiser such a huge success.

This festival is truly a community feat of many coming together to support each other. We are incredibly honored and inspired to see it every year. Thank you to everyone involved and we hope that we spread some joy and smiles as we celebrate the holiday season and our remarkable community.
